Pallas Projects/Studios, who have been breaking new ground for Irish visual arts and culture since 1996, and supporting the development of Irish artists, present their third NYC-style fundraising auction: Irish Art Now – a showcase of Irish contemporary artists – with the generous help of Whyte’s and The Irish Georgian Society. With artworks by over 70 established and emerging artists including: Willie Doherty, Amanda Coogan, Liam Gillick, Corban Walker, Abigail O’Brien, Paul Hallahan, Barbara Knezevic, Salvatore of Lucan, Julia Dubsky and many more. This exciting collaboration between the auction house and the artist-run space will introduce Irish contemporary art – painting, print, photography and sculpture – to seasoned auction-goers, with many affordable works, and the chance to secure a choice piece by a major Irish artist, or to grab a bargain by a future prospect. It also presents a great opportunity for budding collectors to enjoy the auction experience for the first time, and start a collection of their own with a unique artwork. It will demonstrate the strength and breadth of Irish contemporary art: with renowned Irish painters, already familiar to the auction house, alongside internationally-established artists, who are already selling work through the leading Irish contemporary and international galleries and art-fairs (Frieze, Art Basel), exhibiting at home in museums (IMMA, The Hugh Lane), and far and wide in art biennales (Venice Biennale) and international institutions. The lots include specially created work by Willie Doherty, twice nominated for the Turner Prize, and British artist Liam Gillick, who exhibits regularly in Ireland with Kerlin Gallery and represented Germany in the 53rd Venice Biennale, both of whom have produced new one-off pieces especially for the occasion. In addition the auction will feature the work of many hugely talented emerging artists who have been championed by Pallas in recent years. This gala evening will be an entertaining spectacle, with pop-up food, drinks, and surprise guests. It is generously supported by Whyte’s, who are donating their fees and commission to support the not-for-profit sector, and the Irish Georgian Society, who have once again provided the use of the newly restored Octagonal Room of the City Assembly House for the event. One of Dublin’s hidden architectural gems, and commissioned by a group of artists, it was the first purpose-built commercial public art gallery in Britain and Ireland at the time of its completion in 1771. We wish to extend our deepest gratitude to the artists who have donated these outstanding works of contemporary art, without their show of reciprocal support this event could not take place. In addition, we extend a special thanks to the the many sponsors and local businesses who have generously contributed to make this occasion memorable. Pallas, our board, staff and member artists thank you for attending and warmly welcome you to an evening of great art work. We hope you enjoy, bid often, and help us continue in our mission to support Irish art and artists.

43. Shane Murphy (b.1970) Untitled_2019 expanded drawing 30 by 30 by 30 cm €250 – €350 Shane Murphy’s work is informed by phenomenological ideas of perception and explores the tacit integration between viewer and object. A keen appreciation of Minimalism supports his inquiry into light and architectural space. Working three-dimensionally through the process of expanded drawing, he develops a vocabulary of open form geometric sculptures. By subtly employing line as a medium, he demonstrates that a drawing is not confined to a purely two-dimensional act but is in fact a three-dimensional process demanding an active participation from the viewer in pedestrian space. This diffused interface creates ambiguity between the figure / ground relationship.

Since the 1980s, Willie Doherty has been a pioneering figure in contemporary art film and photography. At once highly seductive and visually disorientating, Doherty’s artworks tend to begin as responses to specific terrains (most often mysterious isolated settings; places, we suspect, with a troubled past) and evolve as complex reflections on how we look at such locations – or on what stories might be told about their hidden histories. Doherty has exhibited in many of the world’s leading museums, including the CAM Gulbenkian, Lisbon; Museum De Pont, Tilburg; IMMA, Dublin; SMK, Copenhagen; Fruitmarket, Edinburgh; TATE, London; Modern Art Oxford; Dallas Museum of Art; Albright-Knox Art Gallery, Buffalo, New York; Neue Galerie, Kassel; Kunsthalle Bern; Kunstverein München; Kunstverein Hamburg and the Musée d’Art Moderne de la Ville, Paris. He was nominated twice for the Turner Prize and has participated in major international exhibitions including Documenta, Manifesta, the Carnegie International, and the Venice, São Paulo and Istanbul biennales.

62. Amanda Coogan (b.1971) Snails, After Alice Maher, Live 2010, photograph from a live performance signed on reverse provenance: artist’s studio 29.4 y literature/exhibited: This was part of a suite of work I made in commission from IMMA for their Altered Images exhibition in 2009/2010.

The Irish Times have said, ‘Coogan, whose work usually entails ritual, endurance and cultural iconography, is the leading practitioner of performance in the country’. Her extraordinary work is challenging, provocative and always visually stimulating. Using gesture and context she makes allegorical and poetic works that are multi-faceted, and challenge expected contexts. The body, as a site of resistance, is the centrality of Coogan’s work. Her expertise lies in her ability to condense an idea to its very essence and communicate it through her body. She is one of the most dynamic contemporary artists practising in live art.
